التعليم و الفوائد الإضافية و معدل الأجور : دراسة مقارنة من القطاعين العام و الخاص في الأردن

الملخص EN

The aim of the study is to compare the role of education and fringe benefits as determinants of wages in both the public and private sectors, and to examine the existence of Dual Labor Market Hypothesis (DLMH) in Jordan.

The data used in this study was collected through a survey questionnaire administered to the employees and workers of both sectors.

The questionnaire was designed to compare the education and the fringe benefits in both sectors and their r respective role in determining the wage levels.

The sample for the study consisted of 2669 employees who completed and returned the survey questionnaire.

The main results of this study reveal that wages are positively correlated to years of experience at the present jobs and the past experience, education, the size of the firm and their public or private entity, as well as the existence of life insurance, and the gender and working hour status of the labor force.

The wage was negatively correlated to the existence of retirement salary, social security, hours of working per day, and living in the city.

An interesting finding was that public sector pays higher salaries to the low level employees than the private sector, and that private sector is paying much more to the higher positions.

The last major finding was that the DLMH hypothesis is working effectively and systematically in Jordan, which means that the movement of employees and workers within the organization and between the two sectors is really difficult, which necessarily entails dealing fairly with this class, particularly those working in the informal sector through the adoption of motivational policies, reflecting the accumulation of their experiences and skills.
